Greetings from vegas.. I’m at the interconnect conference . I’ve got two big talks here.. and thats making me nervous.. I’m trying to psyche myself into enjoying them.. rather than freaking out any more than i already am about the big stage.. maye i can map my stage fright into ‘stage might’ ?

when through rehearsals today .. saw the big space !

also saw several friends..includign meeting some pretty good friends that I’d never seen face to face (cate, henry,)

Lisa and her wild glasses

my freind Nagakagawapsan from honda

gotta fix my selfie camera..   got a broken cover !

and travis and markus.. i just left them after we all put together the high striker demo.. so far so good

ok.. gotta sleep. Being day tomorrow. wish me luck !

On my way to vegas for work..    got the Pearl Jam song ‘off he goes ‘ buzzing in my brain..   one of my favorites

1, 2, 1, 2…
know a man, his face seems pulled and tense
like he’s riding on a motorbike in the strongest winds
so i approach with tact
suggest that he should relax
but he’s always moving much too fast
said he’ll see me on the flipside
on this trip he’s taken for a ride
he’s been taking too much on
there he goes with his perfectly unkept clothes
there he goes…
he’s yet to come back 
but i’ve seen his picture
it doesn’t look the same up on the rack
we go way back
i wonder about his insides
its like his thoughts are too big for his size
he’s been taken… where, i don’t know?
off he goes with his perfectly unkept hope
and there he goes…
and now i rub my eyes, for he has returned
seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned
for he still smiles… 
and he’s still strong
nothing’s changed, but the surrounding bullshit that has grown
and now he’s home
and we’re laughing like we always did
my same old, same old friend
until a quarter-to-ten
i saw the strain creep in
he seems distracted and i know just what is gonna happen next
before his first step
he’s off again

 

I used to take this song as a negative…

now it feels kinda positive..

gotta think about that 🙂

I worked so hard today.. that I couldn’t even think.. I got so wrapped up in my prep for a bunch of talk next week that I had to duck out of a whole bunch of responsibilities for today.. i hate doing that..

my last jb today was to build a ‘cognitive iot’ den/ I took the twitter feed of each of the top 4 presidential candidates and put it through  a cognitive sentiment analyzer..   then ran that into my tesla coil.. I was able to show with a million n volt arc what polsters are saying.. berries inspiring but polerizing , hillary is middle of the road, trumps a jerk and cruz supporters better learn how to tweet !

FinLY ABOUT 7 PM I’D HAD ENOUGH. I SHUT my laptop (too burned out to correct that capitalization ) .. and took dian to eat Mexican food.. It was just what I needed. Now I’m about to dive into the bathtub and go to sleep.. I have no business not working tonight.. but not enough steam to work even if i wanted to…

isn’t that great !?>. no choice !

note all, nite sam
